Years ago there was a bad dude going around telling people that he was going to kill me. He's not around doing that anymore...

Will a Violin solve it? A Violin Case? When there's a gun in the case? Oh dear, we're right back to violence again, aren't we?

Violence never solves anything?

"I'm sure the city fathers of Carthage will be glad to know that... Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."

It can and does resolve everything. In fact, without it, nonviolent means of resolution are rarely productive. Only with the threat of something worse does anyone put meaningful effort into a peaceful solution. Violence should never be the first choice, but should always be an available choice.

I'm just here for the violence.
